Possibly, but his departure from St. J is not linked with the NI vacancy.

Apparently the club has been planning his departure at the end of the season from as far back as Xmas - the Corona virus has just brought it forward:

Perhaps he just fancied a break from the game for a bit, esp if he felt he'd taken them as far as he could?

As for the NI job, I can't see them advertising/filling the vacancy for another couple of months (minimum) and even when they do, it could be a temporary appointment for the play-offs etc, depending on how the fixtures pan out.

By the time it comes around, Tommy might take it temporarily, or even feel sufficiently refreshed to fancy a crack at the job permanently?

Meanwhile he's been involved in the NI under-age set-up previously and of course Michael took him to Shamrock Rovers to be his gk coach. I suspect that Michael will have a strong say in the next permanent appointment (behind the scenes), so that might count for him? Otoh, Michael's also worked with Robinson and Baraclough, two others who've been touted for the job.

Personally, I'd be happy with whichever of those three Michael recommended, esp if there was a place found for Jimmy Nicholl in the new set-up, since he's done a great job as a go-between for the players and manager.
